Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen

Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

4. “Learning how to understand how technology evolves,
using tools like a technology roadmap, is what you need
more than anything to ride on top of the tsunami instead
of being crushed by it.”
-Peter Diamandis
6. Common Collaboration Deployments
Someone in IT (sometimes not…) decides that they should pilot
SharePoint or Office 365
Little to no planning
On-demand changes and updates
Minimal long term goals
Customized without best practices
8. Why do these projects fail?
AIIM Industry Watch 2015 http://bit.ly/1MAEK9J
9. A global sales
company has 1000+
mobile employees in
the field who need
access to a similar set
of files.
The sales team starts
to use their OneDrive
for Business sites for
their own files and
starts sharing
documents between
team members.
IT department
purchases OneDrive
for Business licenses
for all users and has a
manager share certain
documents to all
employees.
The “Shared with me”
view no longer shows
the same structure for
all employees.
The sales team uses
the “Shared with me”
area to view the
appropriate files.
Real life example
The manager who
shared the files leaves
the company and their
OneDrive for Business
site is marked for
deletion.
12. What is a
Collaboration
Roadmap?
A plan that has a focused destination and is
driven by teamwork between business & IT that
encompasses the needs, goals and strategy of
solutions that drives or provides value to the
company.
15. Business Challenges
How do you manage
content? Where is it
being stored and is it
secured?
Can employees find
the content they need
in an efficient manner?
Do you have processes
that are time
consuming and paper
driven?
Does your solution have
value and drive user
adoption?
Do you have a long
term vision for your
content or are snap
decisions being made?
How do you control the
flow of technology to
users?
16. Not fully understanding your
current state
Not focusing on the end user
experiences
Planning solutions that are too
complex or costly
Focusing only on the technology
Limiting the solutions and
processes that you are including in
the roadmap
5 things to avoid
18. Understand that the business is #1,
not IT!
Focus on user adoption and
personas
Have scheduled roadmap reviews
Break down your roadmap into
attainable milestones and sprints
5 things to do Include governance needs
19. Assess and identify opportunities to reduce cost through technology and process, especially
where cost can be realized on an ongoing basis.
Mitigating Risks
Improving Processes
Providing Visibility
Always work towards specific goals
Identify technology areas that present risks to the business and leverage a proactive approach
instead of a reactive approach.
Mitigating Risks Identify gaps to help eliminate inefficiencies to improve user experience and productivity.
Mitigating Risks Identify key areas of improvement around unhealthy and retired processes.
Improving ProcessesMitigating Risks Improve visibility to work processes, costs, and usage statistics.
Improving ProcessesMitigating Risks Work with the business to identify opportunities to improve overall customer satisfaction.
20. There is a strategic Business Advantage for any
company that promotes a User Centric environment.
User
Centricity
Is Key
22. How do you
approach a
roadmap? Establish the foundational goals
Ensure understanding of technology solutions
Discovery workshops to better define the goals
Establish A team
23. Workshops!
Workshops…
Workshops…
Workshops…
Use a template of questions
• You need to understand the current content and solutions
Stay within the foundational goals
• Keep the main thing, the main thing
Meet with business
• Meet with the business, meet with the business
Question processes
• Live out of your imagination, not your history
24. Strategies & Examples
Unified workshop presentation in PowerPoint
Utilizing Visual Studio Team Services
Utilizing a team OneNote
Current state tracking using Excel
Building wireframes with Axure
26. Example of
Roadmap
Findings
1. Content is commonly managed in File Shares and PC’s
2. Retention and disposition policies are not in place which leads to outdated
content and legal risk
3. Information and content is difficult to find with no unified search experience
4. No single source of content for workers or corporate communications
5. Managing security and knowing who has access to what content is difficult
or not possible
6. Paper documentation is commonly used and maintained
7. There are information silos in the business that lead to a lack of collaboration
8. Challenges in creating a common culture and standard communications
across the various teams
9. The existing network drives store information in an unstructured and
unsearchable fashion.

29. A national company
was on Google for
Work and made the
decision to move to
Office 365 for
collaboration
A roadmap was built to
align what the business
was actually doing with
new SharePoint and
OneDrive for Business
solutions and provided
a scoped estimate
Before anything
happened a team was
established that spread
across departments to
review the new
platform
During the process of
migration and build
there were scheduled
review meetings with
the original
stakeholders to ensure
alignment
With an understanding
of the available toolset,
workshops were held
with different areas of
the business to better
understand their needs
Real life example ->Roadmapped!
A new intranet that
integrated custom
workflows along with
the ability to share
externally with
OneDrive for Business
was successfully
deployed
30. OneDrive for Business
Recommendation
With established team use workshops for technology review and discovery
Bring together all discovered items and outline plan for current and future phases
Review plan with business leadership including end-user experiences
Establish a scoped timeline with ownership expectations
Have recurring meetings with the business team and the project team
Examples and templates for people to download at the end
We will demo tools that we use
Real life examples
Pete is an engineer, physician and CEO/Founder of multiple technology foundations and companies
What version of SP is everyone on?
How well does you company handle technology advancement?
IT is no longer Information Technology but is “Innovation Technology”
Work anywhere, anytime, across all platforms
People will take paths to get work done if IT/Business does not provide solutions
Security/Compliance become more vital but is not just the users concerns
End users have more power to break security barriers with technology
Budgeting! These projects can be hard to calculate ROI.
IT or senior exe says – “I have a dream”
Every problem can be solved with SharePoint
These are internal issues and not technical, not because ODFB didn’t sync
These cats don’t know how to fix a computer
Avoid scope creep
Business is essential to be involved

Poll the audiences, any interaction?
Review client stories that relate to directed business challenges? ?
The roadmap minimizes and puts a strategy around these challenges.

Brining the business in makes them feel a connection
What tools do people work on?
sales manager is going to buy tablets but IT deployed a solution that is not mobile
A roadmap is never final
A roadmap needs to have direction.
